threadscope

spring-boot-starter-threadscope

A Spring Boot starter that sets up a “thread” scope similar to
SimpleThreadScope.
The difference being spring-boot-starter-threadscope supports destruction callbacks such as @PreDestroy and
propagates thread scoped beans to asynchronous threads. Thread scope works in regular application contexts as
well as web application contexts. It can be used to replace Spring’s request scope.

Activating

spring-boot-starter-threadscope is published to the jcenter and
maven central repositories. To use the starter, add the following dependency information
to your project.

mkRemote

mkRemote

mkRemote (mouse and keys remote) is an application that allows an Android based phone to control the mouse and keyboard of a computer on the same local area network as the phone. The phone acts as the mouse and keyboard, but not the monitor. You must be able to see the monitor or display from where you are holding the phone. There are many possible uses of mkRemote. Originally mkRemote was written to help with the following:

Netflix Watch Instantly – This is a feature that allows Netflix subscribers to stream movies to their computer to watch. Watching a movie on a computer has a lot to be desired compared to watching a movie on your TV. Unfortunately not too many people have their computer next to their TV. Depending on your home layout it may be possible to run a video and audio cable from your computer to your TV. This would allow you to control the computer while sitting comfortably in front of your TV. Even if you have a computer next to your TV, mkRemote will allow you to stay seated as you select a movie, pause, rewind or fast forward it.

Presentations – Ever need to hook up a projector to your laptop to make a Power Point presentation? Have you had someone sit at the computer while you would say “next slide”? If so, mkRemote could help you drive the presentation yourself as you are standing in front of the audience.
